Behaving like a princess is work. It's not just about looking beautiful or wearing a crown. It's more about how you are inside.

I would like to make one thing quite clear. ... I never explain anything.

All I care about really is writing something worthwhile for children, something that will engage them in some way and stimulates in them a sense of wonder.

I always knew I had this voice, but it wasn't until I was in my 20s that I realized I had the power to do something with it.

When I start to write, I see my stories as a kind of movie. For instance, I ask myself, "What kind of opening do I want for this book?"

I've been blessed to be at the right place at the right time.

Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.
